I was shooting for 5 levels, but had to cut it to three.  I was actually having trouble coming up with interesting levels-I'm very much a novice designer.  Maybe some more game elements would have made more variety easier to create."},{"author_name":"Cambrian_Man","author_uid":"4198","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 6:04pm","epoch":1314122340,"text":"Congrats on finishing! Obviously, more levels would've been nice.

I was also positively surprised by the voice instructions, however it wasn't really challenging enough :)"},{"author_name":"johnfn","author_uid":"3187","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 7:13am","epoch":1314169680,"text":"Voice instructions! That was a neat surprise. I would like more levels though - and maybe sharpen up the graphics a little :)"},{"author_name":"N0_Named_Guy","author_uid":"5344","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 2:02am","epoch":1314323820,"text":"This seemed like a really teared down version of Metal Gear Solid. The 3rd level was really similar to a VR mission of aforementioned game... More levels would benefit the game. And I laughed at the end with &quot;That isn't so hard&quot;... Please improve this game! More levels would be enough for me :P"},{"author_name":"tcstyle","author_uid":"4834","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 11:21am","epoch":1314357360,"text":"Nice game.

Beyond needing more levels and variety of gameplay the distractor mechanic needs some fine-tuning seeing as I was able to finish all three levels without using one.
